I saw this guacamole on a menu a few weeks ago, and initially, I thought it was too crazy for a guacamole mix. Pears and pomegranate seeds? On top of guacamole? Whenever I think of guacamole, I think spicy and creamy and of the salt from tortilla chips. I wasn't quite sure how pomegranate seeds and pear would play into that vibe.

Because I was so intrigued, I ordered the guacamole. It was easily the best thing I had with my brunch - And I loved everything I picked to eat. So I knew I had to try to recreate the dip.

Now, I made this a bit harder on myself by buying a whole pomegranate and smacking the seeds out of it. I had never purchased a pomegranate or cut into one before, so it was an adventure... but I don't expect you to do that. I bought guacamole at the store already made, and I did see pomegranate seeds in a container in my grocery store, as well. So make it easy for yourself and only dice the pear. See? This recipe was even easier than you thought.

Thanks to Barrio Tacos in Cleveland for opening my eyes to this amazing flavor combination. When you're eating spicy tacos with heavy ingredients, this creamy dip cuts through the spice and adds a wonderful layer of sweet and coolness to your meal.
